West Midlands memories
Heath Town
I was born in Heath Town in 1950 in Tremont Street that was just off the Wednesfield Road. There was The Poplar public house on the right going towards Wednesfield, the next road was where I was born. At the top of the street was a factory called Charles Snape. I went to Causeway Lake Infants School at the top of Inkerman Street and then when I was seven went to Woden Road Junior School. I remember going to St.Barnabas church Sunday School, which was the little church next to Chubbs factory. I always remember Masters the bike and toy shop at the top of the village where I would buy a matchbox car for six old pence. Marriots was the butchers just round the corner from us on the main road, there would be sawdust on the floor in the shop. Bridgewoods was the grocery shop just down from The Poplar pub, it had a cellar with the grating just under the shop window and when you stood on... Read more
Wimbourne Road Fallings Park.
First Playgroup opened here by Judith Morton (Vann) in 1970, the Minister was a Rev. Jack Dowson, he also married us and baptisted our two boys (Richard and David), we owned the corner shop on Bushbury Road opposite where the entrance to the old Methodist Chapel used to be. Remember me?
THE BAG WASH IN WEDNESFIELD .W.TON
There was an old bag wash where people could bring their dirty washing to be cleaned around New Street/North Street not far from the police station that was on the main Wolverhampton road. The police station was opposite J. Folks coal merchants. Can anyone recall where it was and are there any maps showing the old Bag Wash?
The Day The Commonwealth Secretary General Visited Wednesfield
Secretary General of the Commonwealth Mr Don McKinnon made his first visit ever to Wolverhampton. This is the first time in all the city's history that this has happened, and I can report he really enjoyed his day with us! I met him at the rail station at 9.36 the express train from London was smack on time. We travelled to the Mayor's Office where Mary and I got acquainted with the Commonwealth's top man! He was charming and was very interested in Wolverhampton. During the course of the day he remarked how nice it was "not to be in a capital city". Mr McKinnon was a very down to earth practical man who was interested in the city history , the way we organised local government and how the city was faring economically. We also spoke about the Commonwealth and their aims and the way that the organisation has developed. The Mayoress and I along with the Secretary General and Lainey Malkani fro the Commonwealth Secretariat then visited Coppice Performing Arts High... Read more
Gift to St Thomas's Church Wednesfield
Gift to Church
Our year as Mayor and Mayoress of Wolverhampton was simply brilliant, we have some lasting memories of the events and the functions we attended on behalf of the city.
But we also tried very hard to help where we could a range of both individuals and organisations. I think that everyone now knows that we have provided a belt bucket and sling for the Royal British Legion so that the standard bearers can carry their emblems more comfortably.
We also have commemerated our Mayoral year by investing in an Oil Set for St Thomas´s Church. We have been very well served by St Thomas´s and we wanted to recognise the partnership we established with Rev John Points who acted as the Mayor´s Chaplain during our year.
We were advised that the Church would appreciate an `Oil Set´ so we have purchased one to assist in Church Services. Both Mary and I have been very fortunate to belong to the Church.
We were married... Read more

The Day We Topped Out £12m New Leisure Centre in Wednesfield!
£12m Wednesfield Leisure Pool. It has been a very big week for both myself and Mary, we have attended 11 individual events as well as trying to hold the day jobs down! On Monday we both attended the new Leisure Centre that is being promoted and instigated by the City Council at Bowman's Harbour in Wednesfield. It is a £12m high tech leisure centre of immense quality. I am sure that every one that will have noticed its development will already be impressed by its iconic shape, and the way it sits against the backdrop of that large hill. Not many people know but the coloured glass which is very much a feature of the building has a very close connection to the city. In fact it is about 300 yards away as the crow flies! It is manufactured at Watson's Glass, Process Works,Old Heath Road,Wolverhampton. The owner of the company is Evan Watson, this company have supplied the coloured laminated vanceva glass for the new leisure centre to Pilkington's who made the double... Read more
